The world of Pasolini on display in Bologna: FROM HIS YOUNG YEARS TO SALÒ AND PETROLIO. FROM ARCHAIC MYTHS TO THE ATTACK ON MODERNITY:
THE WORK OF PASOLINI IN A POLYPHONIC EXHIBITION.
The display area was turned into the nave of a Roman cathedral where are brought together the personal life events and the work of an artist who went far beyond literature, painting, photography and cinema.
From December 18 until March 28 the exhibition OFFICINA Pasolini at MAMbo,
promoted by the Cineteca di Bologna within the project Più moderno di ogni moderno, and with the support of the Municipality of Bologna, celebrates Pier Paolo Pasolini on the 40th anniversary of his death Personal documents, paintings, costumes, photographs, videos: a new and unprecedented gaze on PPP’s work.

Officina Pasolini: the exhibition devoted to the poetic, aesthetic and cultural world of Pier Paolo Pasolini on the 40th anniversary of his death, dated November 2, 1975, promoted by the Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna, in conjunction with Istituzione Bologna Musei and the University of Bologna – Scuola di Lettere e Beni culturali will open at MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna on December 18 until March 28 2016, and will crown the project Più
moderno di ogni moderno. Pasolini a Bologna, a cross-cutting initiative promoted by the Municipality of Bologna to pay homage to the work and life of Pasolini within the program Pasolini 1975/2015 acknowledged by the MiBACT – Ministry for cultural heritage and tourism.
Marco Antonio Bazzocchi, Roberto Chiesi and Gian Luca Farinelli curated the exhibition, in conjunction with Rosaria Gioia and Antonio Bigini, the lighting project was made by Luca Bigazzi.
This exhibition was designed following Pasolini’s modus operandi: a collection of notes, a succession of footages, and a cluster of fragments. The visitor will find the most meaningful core of Pasolini’s world, from his young years in Bologna to his last two works: the film, released after his death, Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma, and the unfinished novel Petrolio.
A magnifying lens focussing on these two crucial aspects in order to interpret, analyse and connect them. The result is a collection of his most recurrent themes: the mother figure, the Greek tragedy, his vision of different worlds and archaic civilizations, the holy element, poverty-stricken suburbs, the middle-class bourgeois world, the neo-capitalist power.
These are the milestones guiding the visitor through a unique journey to uncover or rediscover Pasolini. This journey begins by entering the imposing “Chimneys room” exceptionally turned into the nave of an imaginary Roman cathedral, evoking a visual and architectural world much loved by Pasolini. Once in, it is possible to follow in the steps of his creative process like in a
craftsman’ workshop.
“Officina” (literally “workshop”) is the key-word used by art critic Roberto Longhi, who played a crucial role in Pasolini’s artistic evolution, in his famous 1934 essay on the painting of the Ferrara school. “Officina” is also the title of the magazine founded by Pasolini, Roversi and Leonetti in Bologna in the Fifties. Officina Pasolini is the title of this exhibition. Inside this workshop the visitor will discover the multi-faceted work of the craftsman Pasolini.
Pasolini experimented several art forms and every section features several materials including photos, videos, paintings, drawings, film footages, audio-visual materials, footages of theatrical performances, original texts and set costumes.
